The No. 1 country to visit in 2017, according to Lonely Planet, will
be Canada, because it's "turning 150 in 2017 and making no apologies
for it."

"Canada is always
popular with us," Lonely Planet's Canada destination editor Alex Howard
said. "But there are several things going on in 2017 that made it number
one. It's the country's biggest birthday party in recent memory with
the sesquicentennial next year [2017], and they won't be shy about celebrating.
Also, international travelers can expect their money to go further due
to the weak Canadian dollar, so now is the time to start planning a
trip." Chron
